Description:
|
A performance decrement is consistently observed when people shift from high to low
workload in laboratory studies (Cumming & Croft , 1973 ; Goldberg & Stewart , 1980 ;
Matthews , 1986 ; Cox -Fuenzalida , 2000 ) . Two explanations are currently debated in the
literature ; however , the underlying mechanism perpetuating the decrement is still unknown .
This study aimed to offer evidence for the limited resource explanation by looking at
psychological flexibility , a construct that is reported to increase the availability of cognitive
resources . It was hypothesized that psychological flexibility would predict above and
beyond condition status on the dependent variables : performance post -shift , negative affect ,
and workload . Multiple hierarchical regressions were conducted to assess the hypotheses and
the data did not support the hypotheses . Results are discussed as well as limitations and
future directions for research . |
